I have just tested the whole sequence of building the static and
dynamic libraries for the Win32 driver. Everything went smoothly,
with one minor exception:

The current makefile DExamples.mak in sys/win32/msdev/DExamples 
fails if the directory that will hold the results of the compilation
and linking does not exist yet.

It would be a matter of adding an extra command to that file per
example. 

If we think it is important enough to do that, then let me know. 
Otherwise I am satisfied with the current tarball.
